Coping When Being Rejected

Face reality
Everybody gets rejected. But here are people who seem successful in being accepted everywhere. They get to land the job they want and get to be loved by the person they love. The just found better ways to receive rejection and learn the needed attitudes and coping skills.< p>

Make alternative plans
Imagine situations and probable outcomes carefully so they would know how to adjust if their major plans fail.

Make it better next time
When events don't turn out the way they plan, many indulge in temper tantrums. In their view, they deserve good things and have the right to expect it.

Look for the silver lining
It's always there. If we are honest with ourselves and we know we exerted all the needed effort to pass the exam or interview but still failed, we don't have to blame ourselves. Either the job was not for us or it may not be to our best advantage. Some people believe that rejection is always a blessing in disguise and that is a healthy attitude.

Lighten up
We don't have to play the role of victims. If person we love does not reciprocate our feelings, we have to back off. Who wants to love a person who doesn't love us back anyway? It would just worsen our lives if we force ourselves on him/her.

Seek Friends
We have to be honest about our feelings. We can tell it to family or friends whom we trust. They have been there too and they can help. When we're rejected, we feel unwanted and unworthy. But when we know that friends have time for us and if they show their concern for us like being beside us during those times when we feel bad, we feel wanted.

Sort of the Lesson of "The Phantom of the Opera"

You bring the rejection on yourself by needing to blame something other than luck. (Basically, the Phantom feels he must hide because he has an oogy scar on his face; from hiding, he sees- and aids a chorus-girl into the spotlight; there she re-attracts a beau of long ago [who DOESN'T have an oogy scar]; and the Phantom loses her and highlights 'the rejection' by impatiently rushing her to "make her choice.") ... but Uncle MythMan still KNOWS you're more awesome than NFL Cheerleaders, yet needs to hear *your* comments on http://is.gd/2s8V http://is.gd/22wY http://is.gd/1fSs http://is.gd/1fRg http://is.gd/1fSe & http://is.gd/1fSj -- Click His Stamp to Discover!
